What is the relationship between daylight and nighttime on an equinox?
Days become shorter from the Summer Solstice in June [the longest day of the year] through the Winter Solstice in December [the shortest day of the year] , when the days begin growing longer again. [At the Vernal and Autumnal Equinoxes, midway between the solstices, the days and nights are of equal lengths.]
Which of these occurs between the dates of the solstice?
Equinoxes
Where does the sunlight hit the earth?
In the tropics. The sun is straight overhead at some time or other, between the tropic of Cancer, in the north and the tropic of Capricorn. During the equinoxes (vernal and autumnal), the sun is directly overhead at the equator.
What is the difference between vernal equinox and antumnal equinox?
The vernal equinox occurs in March and marks the start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, while the autumnal equinox occurs in September and marks the start of fall. During these equinoxes, day and night are approximately equal in length all over the world.
What is the relationship between velocity and the derivative of position?
The relationship between velocity and the derivative of position is that velocity is the derivative of position with respect to time. In other words, velocity is the rate of change of position over time.
Is there a relationship between the phase of the moon and position of the tide?
yes
What occurs during the autumnal equinox?
The Autumnal Equinox occurs in September when the length of day and night is nearly equal. This is when the sun shines directly on the equator. People often have equinox parties to celebrate this date.
What occurs between the two solstices?
The two equinoxes.
What is the relationship between the derivative of position and velocity?
The derivative of position is velocity. This means that velocity is the rate of change of position over time.
Does an equinox occur halfway between a solstices?
Pretty much, yes. You have the spring (vernal) and autumn (autumnal) equinoxes, so it's around that time. Midsummer's day is around the first day of summer. But the equinoxes aren't precisely (to the smallest fraction of a second) halfway between, because the velocity of earth's orbit is constantly changing throughout the year.
What are the difference between the equinoxes and the solstices?
The equinoxes and solstices are the first days of seasons. On the equinoxes, night and day is the same length. On the solstices, the day is either the longest or the shortest day of the year, depending on which solstice it is and which hemisphere you are in,
What occurs midway between the dates of the summer and winter solstices?
equinoxes
